Easter Egg Hunt

Dad — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 03:35:57 +0000

I’ll take any opportunity to get the kids out from in front of the computer and the TV. They needed time to play with other kids and they got a little of it over the weekend. The Easter Egg Hunt was a blast. It was put on by an area church and before sending the kids out to search for eggs, they tell them what Easter is really about. Good for them.

What today means

Dad — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:03:18 +0000

Yes We Can...And Yes We Will. Hope springs eternal. Now the journey begins.

Today was an historic day. For some, it meant the possibility of a better economy. For others, it meant that their loved ones will may come home sooner from abroad. For African-American families (of which, mine is one), it means a little more.

There have been African-American judges, congress-men, Senators, etc. For the first time, ever, there is an African-American President of the United States. Here is what this translates to. America is still the most powerful country in the world. The leader of that country is the most-powerful person in the world. African-Americans have gone from being slaves less than 200 years ago to having one of us hold the most-powerful office on Earth.

I tried to teach the girls some of what this means and what today’s activities were all about. I think it is going to take a few more evenings of going over this for them to understand. They need to understand what those who have come before them have done to make this happen; what people are doing today that will help them in the future; and what they can do to help themselves achieve any and every dream they have.

Broken Glasses

Dad — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:50:13 +0000

I just bought Cassie some glasses less than six months ago. Today, so kid threw a ball at my daughter’s face on purpose and broke her glasses. Now, I have to deal with making the kid’s parents pay for new glasses right at Christmas time. I feel sorry for that kid, if the parent’s have not shopped for him yet, but, not my problem.

A kid twist on old sayings

Dad — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 03:36:06 +0000

I gave Cassie a questionnaire that instructed her to complete the beginning parts of old sayings. Here are the results:

It’s always darkest before…lightest
Never underestimate the power of…craziness (that’s daddy)
Don’t bit the hand that…feeds you
No news is…good news
You can’t teach an old dog new…tricks
Love all, trust…none
The pen is mightier than the…pencil
Where there’s smoke there’s…fire
A penny saved is…a penny spent
Don’t put off till tomorrow what…you were supposed to do today
There are none so blond as…man
Children should be seen and not…see
If at first you don’t succeed…try try again
You get out of something only what you…put in it
Better late than…early

A couple of these had me rolling…

Surprise

Dad — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 08:24:20 +0000

I'll take this over tattoos and piercings any day...

I guess Cassie got ahold of my camera and decided to take some pictures of her toes.

Think before you deliver gifts…

Dad — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:53:52 +0000

I brought the girls some Rubik’s Cubes from work. They promptly scrambled them, so I had to help them find instructions on how to get them fixed. Here is what I found.

Fun Was Had By All…

Dad — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:07:26 +0000

The girls and I had a great 4th. We spent the entire day together. I wrote about the entire experience over on johnasimpson.com.

You Can Make A Difference

Dad — Wed, 14 May 2008 13:57:59 +0000

Someone at work sent me an email about this little girl that has a brain tumor. Here is an excerpt from the web site her family has set up:

On January 7, 2008, our lives were changed forever when our 10 year old daughter Emily was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in her left thalamus. Emily’s brain tumor, a pediatric low grade astrocytoma (PLGA) is the most common type of childhood brain tumor and yet, has historically received little, if any, dedicated funding or research. Consequently, there are few treatment options available, and those that are available are invasive, toxic and mostly ineffective.

Emily is determined to change all this and she has set her sights on raising $1 million to help fund PLGA dedicated research by December 31st, 2008. We, her family, have partnered with The Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity (founded in August 2007) to help raise money for dedicated PLGA research with a goal of developing kinder, gentler and more effective treatments, AND a cure, for the thousands of PLGA children around the world.

I do believe this to be true. Please visit Emily’s website, www.colorforacure.com. You can buy a pixel of color for just one dollar. Each dollar – every cent – goes to PLGA research, and each pixel is added to a picture which is gradually completed as the goal of a million dollars is approached. You can make a difference in a child’s life, and make sure you tell a friend!

Working Together…

Dad — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:18:46 +0000

It's nice to see them working together for a change...

The girls put a smile on my face tonight. We went to the library and they happened to check out the same book. I went to get gas and when I got back in the car, Alex was reading out loud. After a bit, Cassie started reading out loud and Alex stopped. It turns out, they were each reading a page of the same book.

What A Face…
